Do you have the Tartan Ada toolset? IIRC, there is a tool that will generate
a dependency report as part of the standard Tartan environment...

You might want to check source navigator.  I believe there is a parser plug-in
for Ada.

looking for Ada utility

[Mark T]

I'm looking for a free utility tool that will perform a similar
function to the cflow utility, starting in a "main" procedure
will give a flow of caller/callee. The code does not use "Use" so
all calls are prepended with the package name. Is there anything
out there? I have neither the budget nor time (P.O. etc) to get a
commercial tool like Understand for Ada.
===========================================================
I was able to gnatchop the code (but unable to compile with gnat)
and create html so that is a help. Thank you Ada Core or whomever
developed those utilities!

   thanks

     Mark

Did you consider GRASP - not sure if it's exactly the right tool you need.
Anyway, URL:

Do you mean "gnathtml" rather ? Anyway if you can "gnatchop",
you are very near to succeed in compiling !
For the GNATHTML prowesses, see my page there:
 http://members.xoom.com/gdemont/unzipada.htm
(topic: browsable source). GNATHTML is fully automatic!

  I have used this tool, it is nice for lower level details but
not for programming-in-the-large

my problem is I have to find and fix a bug in a 10K sloc program
written in a Tartan C30 "Ada dialect". Of course, I was never
involved in the development of this software and any supporting
SW documents are missing or worthless, the design of the code is
very strange.

 yes, I left that detail out but without full compile you can
only hop around by program unit.

  not really quite a few low-level packages are non-standard.

 I know and I wish I could get my code compiled with GNAT :(

Did anybody else see the recent announcement by the GRASP project?
They've converted to Java.  And they now recommend a 300 MHz Pentium
to run it.  Why exactly do people want to do big projects in Java
again?

Re: Java (was looking for Ada utility)

[Alain Le Guennec]

There also exists an ASIS utility to build call trees.
It is provided as an example of ASIS programming
on the ASIS Working Group site, at the following URL:
http://info.acm.org/sigs/sigada/wg/asiswg/asis_call_tree_example.adb

I guess it can be compiled with ASIS for GNAT.
Hope this helps.

I've got a Pentium II 350 and it is too slugish for my tastes...Grrr.
